Pittsburgh

Time: May 9 2009
Place: Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Company: Wife
Highlights:
Left office on Friday at 5 pm with friend. Picked up wife from home and went to Southborough station. At 6 pm, caught the commuter rail to Boston. Had supper at Boston South Station. Took Lucky Star bus to New York at 9 pm. Reached New York by 1 am. Took subway to Times Square. Spent some time at Times Square. My wife could be the only lady in the world who was in Times Square on a midnight in a saree!!


Spent 1 hour waiting for the bus to Pittsburgh at Port Authority. Caught the Greyhound bus to Pittsburgh at 3.15 am. Had the last two seats. Bus went via Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. Reached destination at 1 pm. Met brother at the destination at same time. Went to SV Temple. Lost route twice. Lost almost two hours. Went in every possible tunnel in Pittsburgh twice! Finally reached the temple. Grabbed a quick bite at the Udipi restaurant. Bid adieu to bro, took his car and started driving back. Drove for about 4 hrs till I couldnt stand it any more. Lodged in at comfort inn. Next day had continental breakfast, and drove from 9 am to 7 pm to reach Marlborough. Lost routes again twice! Had also a flat tyre on the freeway 40 miles prior to destination. Waited for AAA to fix it and also got myself a brand new tyre at the nearest exit. Pretty nice drive and not at all exhausting!
